I just purchased a new ASUS Z97K CSM motherboard and a Intel I7 4790 CPU. I put these together with my other existing parts (see below), and chucked on a new windows installation. However, whenever I tried to play games of any kind, or even YouTube videos, I get horrible performance. For example, in Warframe (anyone who's played it know how well optimized it is), I get around 15-20 FPS on MINIMUM settings. This is frankly ridiculous and I've tried everything under the sun to fix it. I updated drivers, I've tried reinstalling windows, updating the bios, etc. Please offer some helpful advice if you can.

List of complete components:
Intel I7 4790 CPU
ASUS Z97K CSM motherboard
XFX R9 270X
Samsung 840 Pro SSD
Hitachi 1TB HDD
Kingston 1333mhz DDR3 RAM
Ultra LSP550 550-Watt Power Supply

1. 70C at idle is scary..... I'm 23 at idle and 74 under load. I suspect CPU throttling because of heat

Load HWiNFO64 and run the RoG Real Bench Stress test (not the benchmark) using the RAM amount installed for 1 hour..... pay careful attention to max core temps and end test if they break 85C

2. Try again using your games .... I expect your CPU temps go up at least 30 - 40C

3. Unfortunately, neither of the comes you listed are commonly benchmarked. The link I gave you benchmarked 16 different games, do you have any of them so that you could do an apples and...

Yes the resolution is 1920x1080, and the CPU temp is ~70 degrees Celsius at idle and the gpu being ~78 under load

Also, its not just warframe, skyrim, minecraft, and civilzation all suffer
